How to watch Match of the Day

Match of the Day is broadcast on BBC One at 10.30pm (UK only) on Saturdays and is repeated at 7.35am on Sunday.

Match of the Day 2 is on BBC Two at 10pm (UK only) on Sundays (all times may vary, please check here for the latest schedule).

In addition, UK users can now watch Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2 live on the BBC Sport website.

To do so, visit bbc.co.uk/football and click on the large image in the middle of the page.

You can either watch the video embedded on the main page, or launch our 'pop-out' video player so you can continue to navigate around the website at the same time.

The programmes are only available when MOTD is being shown on TV (not on-demand) as the BBC does not have the rights to show Premier League action online outside of live broadcasts.

BBC Sport only has domestic rights to Premier League highlights, so viewers abroad cannot access this content.
